The Church also takes its responsibilities
to the developing world seriously. Over the past 26 years
£2.5 million has been invested overseas from the charitable
giving of members. There has also been a constant stream of
individuals travelling to less developed nations in Africa,
the India, working with immigrant and low income populations
in France, Belgium and Holland and in parts of eastern Europe.
In Africa, in particular regeneration projects have been launched
in at least a dozen countries ranging from water and food
security, micro enterprises, ICT, primary and secondary schooling
and AIDS/HIV.
Rafa (Renewal – Advancement- Financial – Autonomy)

Cedar Project
CEDAR Projects was established in January 2000 the main aim
of the charity was based on the initiative of a group of professionals
attempting to overcome the negative stereotype associated
with the African- Caribbean community, having a main objective
to initiate community based projects that provide opportunities
for individuals to develop themselves, widening their participation
in their communities.
The Project has been involved in the Millennium Volunteers
project now currently known as 'V' since January 2000 this
has been one of the main tools to help achieve their objectives.
Through an initiative of one of our volunteers we have developed
The Real-care Baby Project going into schools and colleges
to help with their Teenage Pregnancy Prevention programmes
and Health and Social care projects.
We also offer a One Stop Employment Shop to help people to
improve their skills and job prospects through gaining interview
skills, assertiveness training, Presentation skills CV and
letter writing.
The project has 3 main staff, The Project Co-ordinator who
delivers the core Business activities e.g. Recruitment and
induction of Volunteers, Health and Safety. The Project Worker
who works closely with Project Co-ordinator assisting with
all aims and oversees the Administration Officer/Support worker
of the office and the administrator who provides support to
both Project Co-ordinator and the Project Worker.
